Sand Scrunchie ENGLISH

Sand scrunchie is a simple scrunchie knit in a slip-stitch pattern (linen stitch). It is perfect for leftover yarn and is available in three different sizes: mini, regular and large (see differences in the picture below). Recommended yarn is Knitting for Olive (KFO) Pure Silk which will make a lovely scrunchie. The silk is very gentle on the hair while the slip-stitch structure makes it stay put in your hair all day. For that reason, it is my favorite scrunchie.

The three scrunchies below are knit in KFO in the colour Soft Peach (Blid Fersken). I have added 1-2 g extra for estimated yarn quantity compared to what I actually used when I knit my samples. Because of this I actually managed to get from one ball of KFO Pure silk 2 regular sized scrunchies, 1 large and 1 mini with 2 g yarn left. In the below pictures, the brown scrunchie is knit in KFO Pure silk in the colour Copper (Kobber). The blue scrunchie in the front page is knit in Drops Baby Merino (handdyed). I recommend to use a yarn that does not felt when you make the scrunchie, especially if you plan to use in in wet hair. Otherwise, it is perfect for any kind of thin yarn. 

Sizes: Mini (standard) large.

Gauge: 32 m/10 cm.

Suggested needles: 4.5 mm [US 7] circular needle 40 cm. 

Suggested yarn: Knitting for Olive Pure silk (50 g = 250 m).

Estimated yarn quantity: 8 (15) 20 grams = 40 (75) 100 meters. 

Notions: Elastic or hair-tie. I prefer around 10 cm when using an elastic + 2-3 cm extra for the knot. 

Difficulty: 1/5 (beginner friendly).
